Never knew that Boulder had so many good ice cream/gelato places, but after trying Fior's, I can confirm it! I ordered two scoops: honey-lavender and strawberry-coconut. Both were incredible in flavor; I usually like strong tastes, so being able to taste the lavender and strawberry (usually quite subtle flavors) was a good thing in my book! I've heard that strawberries are actually roasted before being used in the gelato, which is something I've never heard of, but am on board with! Highly recommend Fior. There are two locations on Pearl Street, so in case one gets busy, you can always go a couple of blocks down to the other one! read more

The ice cream and waffles here are delicious. I could eat the waffles all day long. That is the reason I will come back when I am in the area. There is one important thing you need to pay attention to when here, your total. My friend ordered Waffle A La Mode, which should cost $7.25, but his total came up to over $12. This happened to another person in line as well. Overcharging may be a frequent issue here or it was a new employee. Pay attention and make sure they charge you correctly. Both times I went to Fior Di Latte, they were out of flavors, this might be another common problem. Also the service felt rushed. You can try as many samples, which is great! The line can get a little long because of that. One of my favorites here is the dark chocolate ice cream, very indulging. I got a scoop of the burnt honey and lavender, it was really interesting. read more

Always on the lookout for great ice cream or gelato when I travel, Gelato Boy fit the bill today. A nice little shop on bustling Pearl Street in Boulder, come here for some tasty gelato. I sampled a few flavors before settling on the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and the Orange Creamsicle, getting a split scoop which was just the right size for me after just having had pizza for lunch. The staff is very friendly and the gelato was delicious! They offer flights which I'd gladly return for when I'm less full. read more

I have to say, I am sad that I put off trying this place! I went in with a group of 8 people, expecting some mediocre gelato. But to my surprise, they had some interesting flavors. And what shocked me even more was the fact that the creamiest flavors were dairy free! I got the oatmeal chai and loved it. Not to mention, it paired well with my snickerdoodle. The serving size for two scoops is rather generous, and I ended up not being able to finish. But given the chance, I would do the half -and-half scoop with just one scoop next time. Can't wait to come back again! read more

A great treat after dining along Pearl Street Market. Paid street parking outside, and the storefront is quite small, no room to eat inside. Inside was clean and the staff friendly. You may see a line outside if going at peak times, but the servers are pretty quick to take your order and serve. Your wait may get extended by customers tasting flavors before ordering, but it's worth the wait. Tried the chocolate, mint chocolate chip, birthday cake, lavender, pistachio, and lemon......don't judge. All were delicious. Enjoy it with an evening stroll along Pearl Street Market! read more

Gelato Boy has such unique and fun flavors that we had to get a flight! My favorites were the lavender poppy seed which had a subtle floral, fragrant taste with added poppy seed texture. Pistachio was very nutty and thick, creamy gelato. Salted cookies and cream was also delicious and a unique twist to a classic. Mudslide was a coffee base mixed with fudge and cookies. Definitely recommend getting a flight to try all the options! Only downside was when we did get our flight, the gelato melted pretty quick. read more

The gelato was great on a 95F afternoon. We had a group of 9 and ordered 2 flights for $8.45 (6 scoops each). We were able to sample all of their flavors except for the midnight chocolate and the milk chocolate, which they were out of. They had a good selection of fruity flavors and other flavors. My favorite was the cookie butter, the cinnamon cherry bourbon, and the sweet cream and dark chocolate. I think that the presentation of the flights could have been improved (they were literally scooped into a brown paper tray) but otherwise the gelato tasted delicious! read more

I had the lavender poppy and the pistachio flavors. Lavender: 5/5 I really enjoyed it! It's thick and creamy. Not an overwhelming lavender flavor but it's still there. The poppy seeds add some fun texture haha Pistachio: 2/5 it's not my favorite. It's really thick almost like oat milk? It is literally creamy pistachios. If you're into that get it. I also got to try: S'mores: 3.8/5 it's dairy free and I personally am not a fan of dairy free BUT the flavors are still on point Midnight Chocolate: 4.5/5 also dairy free but it's really really rich. I enjoyed it. Customer service: 4/5 Overall: the flavors are all really strong and true to its ingredients. Solid gelato. read more

I don't like trendy foods and I view the whole gelato craze as being today's most recent trendy food craze. In a few years the gelato craze will likely die and be replaced by some other trendy food craze. Hopefully I'm wrong and it has more staying power than the cupcake craze or the fro-yo craze. Because I love gelato. So I'm skeptical of most gelato shops and I consider myself to be a tough critic. Some gelato shops serve regular ice cream and try to pass the regular ice cream as gelato. Well surprise surprise, this gelato did not disappoint. Dior Di Latte serves up some very interesting flavors. I'm talking about flavors that you've probably never come across before. The girl behind the counter claimed they make all the favors by themselves. Thumbs up. It's located on popular Pearl Street, which seems to be a hot spot for every single restaurant and bar in the town of Boulder ;-) read more

If you want to spend nearly $6 for a scoop of taste-free gelato this is the place for you. Their so-called gelato is also dairy-free which robs true gelato of its taste.

If you're savvy there's also deals available in Campus Cash and elsewhere, so stay on the lookout. Otherwise, the visit can become kind of pricey. Either way you'll leave satisfied.

It's buy one get one free if you're a CU student on Tuesday and they're open till 10 which is what makes it so popular! It does get crowded but it's worth it! The service has always been great when I go there.

I asked for extra sprinkles which they did, (without extra cost) so I was happy about that. Some of the cookies were a little too sugary and rich but they all had good flavors and textures. Great for a late night snack when you're craving something sweet.

Finally got to check out Fior's second location and it's great! Smaller than the one on the other end of Pearl, but I might like it even more. It's cozier and more intimate, with the same killer gelato. I had a waffle à la mode with a churro waffle and sweet corn and blackberry (YES!) gelato, and my vegan friend was psyched about all the vegan options. Winning! read more

Delicious ice cream, but could you find a little more-enthused staff? I'm going to Fior to enjoy some ice cream, not to feel like I'm annoying the hippie staff while I'M THE ONLY ONE IN THE SHOP. Nix the snobby employees and get someone who actually smiles and greets you when you walk in the shop. read more

I was so delighted to hear that a new matcha place was opening up in Boulder right before my trip…read more I made a note on my list to visit sometime during my week in Colorado. The small matcha store is right close to UC Boulder and I strolled in around 2:30 PM to grab a drink before returning to my hotel. There was a small line when I got there and other people were peering curiously at the menu, which had so many different options - not just matcha drinks, but soft serve too! I didn't have to wait too long to order and decided to go with something a little more decadent than I'd normally go for: a matcha float with mochi. I went to the back of the store to wait for my order and noted a few nice things: a station to throw away garbage, to get straws, and even some cane syrup and vanilla syrup for those who wanted to adjust their drinks a little more. As I was waiting for my order, I overheard the baristas talking about putting a little matcha powder on a drink "to make it a little cuter." It turned out to be my drink! And it did indeed make it a little cuter. I took a seat at an empty table to enjoy my drink. Even though the establishment is next to a university, the environment was fairly calm and quiet. It seems a lot of students like to go there to grab a drink or soft serve and chat with their friends or work on group projects. It's also nice that the store opens until late. I was hoping to visit again another night to grab a soft serve, but I unfortunately didn't have the time. The drink itself was okay. I felt the drink was very milky and the matcha didn't have that strong, earthy flavor that I wanted even with the extra matcha powder on top. The mochi was also very disappointing. The mochi was hard and not very chewy, probably after being in such close proximity to the cold soft serve that topped the matcha float. I'm not sure I'd come back for the matcha drinks again, but I'm still curious about the soft serve, so I might visit again in the future.
